As poor a representative Rene Oliveira has been, Dominguez would be no better.
What was the young man thinking?
LNG is a short-termed profiteering mechanism with a shelf life of two decades at best. Three LNG plants from the Port of Brownsville to Port Isabel will eventually leave our once pristine coastal area with a 28 mile pile of toxic, 500 foot high metal junk, with cleanup costs way beyond our means, while sabotaging the tourist industry.
Oh, yes! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! That's bull shit!
LNG firms do not hire newbies, except in security, janitorial or landscaping positions. It's a dangerous operation. They will bring in workers with actual LNG experience. Liability issues alone mandate this.(Notice that even the pipeline companies have brought in outside welders and crane operators, etc.)
I'm sorry guys. Alex Dominguez is as wrong for our area as Rene Oliveira and Oliveira is a total tool.
It will be interesting to see if any of Alex's political contributions can be traced to LNG.
Remember when selling out to oil and gas was a GOP thing? Dominguez voted for LNG just like the sellout Lucios. I would have voted for Dominguez over either Lucio, Oliveira, Abbott, had he stood up against LNG. Why do you think people drive from Houston or Dallas or all over the state, keep going past Corpus to come down to South Padre? It's because we don't look like corpus, we don't smell like an oil refinery and we don't allow LNG refineries that blow up like Texas city on our shore. Oh wait, that's what Dominguez voted for. Gave the multi billionaires tax breaks to pollute our water and air. Moronic. Meet the new sellout, same as the old sellout. Nope. No way. What's the difference? Lost me with LNG.
ReplyDeleteGood catch Jim, I will be posting his emails assuring me he is going to get to the bottom of the Mary Esther and Louis Sorola at the same time he is promoting their bad conduct by financing them. Alex has major moral problems and people need to know just how dishonest and self serving he is.

YES LNG! WE NEED JOBS, NOT DIRT BAG LIBERAL FAKE ASS ARM CHAIR ENVIRONMENTALISTS! LNG IS A DONE DEAL!
ReplyDeleteHi sellout Sucio Lucio and his little assistant from the barrio whose lips are permanently attached to Lucio's asshole, trying to sell us twice spewed bullshit about jobs. They just want to keep pocketing money from the oil refineries. How is that special water district that Emma Perez pointed out? Watch the movie The Human Centipede a documentary about the Sucios and how they pass their bullshit down to us.
DeleteYou have to realize, 3000 people who vote every single election, not just the Presidential ones, make the decisions on practically every election here. City, county. Rain or shine they vote. They have lived here all their lives, go to the island, and remember meeting the turtle lady and when 802 was the northern border of Brownsville. It's a tiny fraction of the population. Yet they control the elections, they are who gunned down the OP 1033 slate. The Lucios and Dominguez voting to pollute South Padre, our gem, with a refinery means these dumbass politicians need to be replaced. As soon as a viable candidate steps up, the Lucios are out, and dont let the door hit yo ass. Going down like Solomon Ortiz who never saw it coming either. Old shits who got too comfy with the money and forgot who and what they represent. Dominguez had potential until he fucked it up with LNG.
DeleteMy family of over 260 Cameron County voters will not be voting for this sell out. I will personally be speaking to the shrimpers association and longshoremen about this man. A Brownsville councilman told me Alex Dominguez also tried to have the sports park transferred to county to have it named after him.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Rio Grande LNG's parent company, NextDecade, is in financial trouble. It looks like the company is hiding its financial problems from potential investors and is in danger of going under. Looks like the company officers will be lucky to keep their own jobs, let alone provide good, secure jobs for anybody here in Cameron County.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the “Recent Developments” section of NextDecade's 11-08-2017 FEC Form 10-Q: At the end of July 2017, the FEC approved NextDecade's merger with Harmony Merger Corporation and NextDecade started selling common stock on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol “NEXT.” Notified by Nasdaq that it had broken two Nasdaq Listing Rules, NextDecade met with Nasdaq on 10-26-2017. On 11-03-2017, Nasdaq gave NextDecade a 03-06-2018 deadline to comply with the rules to continue its listing on the Nasdaq exchange.
At present, NextDecade is promoting its stock at various Investor Conferences. It's Power Point Presentation doesn't mention its Nasdaq problem.
On 12-05-2017, it made its sales pitch at the Cowen Energy & Natural Resources Conference.
On 12-06-2017, it made its sales pitch at the Wells Fargo Pipeline, MLP, and Utility Symposium.
These presentations to investor groups should have pushed it's stock value higher, but its stock value took a nose dive instead. On 12-06-2017, NextDecade's stock price, which had been hovering around $10 per share, hit a low of hit an all time low of $5.54, closing at $7.30.
So why should investors trust NextDecade? Why should the Cameron County Commissioner's Court, which gave NextDecade a really sweet tax cut deal on 11-03-2017? Why should the Port of Brownsville, which strongly supported the tax cut deal at the County Commissioner's 11-03-2017 meeting?
If the County and Port Commissioners believe firmly enough in NextDecade to give the company a tax relief deal, then now's the time for them to invest their own money in the company – not just public, tax payer money. Which is what I told the Port Commissioners' 12-06-2017 board meeting.

Voting for Alex. Enough of Rene!
ReplyDeleteRene Oliveira is bad, but this man is WORSE! How can he look the people of Cameron County after making that deal? Is this a joke? He only proved that his constituents are not who he is looking out for. Can you imagine how bad he would fuck us over at the state? Chemical Refineries are next on his recruitment list? The argument of "Choose me because I conceal my personal life better" is not a valid argument when you are in bed with LNG.
ReplyDeleteJobs from LNG? I don't think so. I hear that the workers on the gas pipe line going in now along Highway 48 are filling up local hotels and even driving rates up. If these guys are staying in hotels then they are not from here. I doubt if it is anymore likely that the majority of LNG employees will be from here either. So if they mean increased temporary jobs for minimal wage slaves like hotel maids and waitresses then yes, there will be local employment benefit but that isn't what they have promised us. And some of those employees will actually be hurt in the long run by the false economy created by temporary jobs. This is because no one will tell them that once the pipe line is completed and the pipeliners move on they are going to get laid off. In the mean time they will have bought a new refrigerator of stove or perhaps a used car (because they needed it and they had a job) on time and they will no longer be able to make the payments. The item will be repossessed, their credit wrecked and they will be worse off then before the promised boom.
ReplyDeleteI can't support anyone who supported LNG. It boggles my mind how anyone could vote to increase poison and cancer in our children, to make a buck for their cronies. Dominguez must have been advised by the Lucios or their oil cronies. Promising lots of funding to run for higher office right. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. fuck them for fucking us over. Not one vote from South Padre! Stop them now.
